Following a thorough consultation to establish 1) an appropriate indication and 2) no barriers to treatment, you have the opportunity to leave things as they are to consider matters further (a ‘cooling off’ period), or to proceed with treatment on the day following fully informed written consent. This means that following thorough discussion, you consent to the treatment with full understanding of the benefits and risks.

Baseline photography is taken with your permission. Your skin will be disinfected and a sterile drape will be used to cover you, exposing only the treatment area(s). Local anaesthetic is applied. Your practitioner will be wearing a sterile gown and using sterile gloves (surgical discipline is used for PDO threadlifting). A series of threads are injected into the face, usually with a blunt needle called a cannula. The number of threads used depends on the area treated, extent of the problem and desired result. The procedure takes approximately 1hr, but we allow a generous appointment slot to ensure your preparedness and safety (1.5 hour slot). You may notice tiny puncture marks and it is common to have a small amount of oozing due to the highly vascular nature of the human face.

Prior to departing, a follow-up appointment is arranged, you will receive aftercare instructions and Eaton Aesthetics contacts in case of any concerns/emergency.
